5 Years and Counting...

So most people go out by themselves on their Anniversary. Usually something romantic. Nice restaurant, maybe a getaway somewhere -- something alone. Unless you're us. For the 2nd year in a row now we've celebrated our anniversary by dining out with our kids. Yup - nothing says romance like, "Lacie, get that crayon out of your mouth!" or "Don't knock over that...oh, Andrea!" Oh baby.
Not to bag on anyone in particular. It's not like we didn't start out with more romantic plans. We even had a babysitter lined up. Turns out the flu was to blame. Mark had come home the night before and went straight to bed. Only got up when the home teachers came to give a blessing (which I'm sure was the only reason why he was able to go to work the next day). And tonight he wasn't sure if he was up for anything, but I was not about to cook. So we went out. As for why we didn't keep the babysitter....hmmm...still haven't figured that one out.
